A girl In had a crush on sent me the AlbinoBlackSheep "you are an idiot" site that caused a bunch of pop ups. Then she kept sending me links and funny videos and I got all indignant and annoyed because I thought all AlbinoBlackSheep links would be the "you are an idiot" thing.

Upon further review 20 years later she may have been flirting with me.

Anyway that's why I clicked the scam phishing link, boss.

Rickrolling didn't teach us that, 2g1c made us cautious of clicking random links

[-] st3ph3n@midwest.social 27 points 3 months ago

[-] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Between 2g1c, goatse, and lemon party, I learned to always triple check every link I even think of clicking on.

Damn I was hoping the actual #2633 was gonna be relevant

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Link previews ftw

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

It's about Astronomer Hotlines. But there actual xkcds that at least mention rickrolling, why not use one of them?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Y'know, that probably would have been better, but it was late at night and I just wanted to seize the opportunity.

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 2 points 3 months ago

Nope. I love that song.

Edit: Know what? I'm going to listen to it right now!

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

A rare self-rick-roll.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

It's a catchy song. Here's an acapella cover by Home Free:

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I just realized that I'm unable to remember the melody rn. I've heard the song a thousand times...

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

It sounds a bit like Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The internet is never gonna give you up

[-] corvi@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago

KnowBe4, a popular phishing simulation tool, actually has a built-in rickrolling template.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

But are entirely defeated if you make a rule in outlooks saying trash any email that contains knowb4 in the header.

Not only do you pass all phishing tests, but you also don't get spammed by them when renewal comes around.

Phishme is the same. Add a rull saying trash as my email containing phishme.com in the header.

Child you know not how good you have it with your Richard Roll.

[-] kelseybcool@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Goatse.

Stealth edit: lemon party.

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 5 points 3 months ago

Tub girl.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 3 months ago

My least favorite thing about the Lemmy community is that people hide the URLs.

Yeah, you can hover on a computer, yeah, you can change the real URL to something else, however

No bad stop :( You're supposed to be old people, act like you grew up when people were scared of random poisoned links

[-] excral@feddit.org 14 points 3 months ago

Some clients show link previews. I use voyager and get previews for all the links at the end of each comment with URL and link text shown. That's especially useful when people add links to a single letter which would be hard to hit otherwise

No, I still click random links to this day.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Ironically, link previews can help avoid Rick rolls but can hurt security because the link needs to be looked at to generate the preview. If it exploits some flaw (rather than being a phishing thing) or just wants to track if the link has been loaded or grab the IP, then you don't even get to choose to not click it to avoid that.

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Eh, you just have to adapt. Rickrolls hidden in valid seeming content, redirects from innocuous looking links, and just link shorteners can all obfusicate the actual content.
